Xia Shi happily came to the third uncle's house, but what she didn't want to greet her was the third uncle's cold face.
"Did you tell anyone about tomorrow's incident?" Third Uncle asked.
Xia Shi was startled, and hurriedly said: "No, no! I haven't told anyone! Third Uncle, how can I be such a ignorant person, how can such a big event be spread around everywhere!"
"It's fine if you don't have it," the third uncle nodded with relief, "Then don't mention it to anyone again, and pretend it's never been mentioned!"
"What?" Xia was dumbfounded all of a sudden, and stammered in disbelief, "No, I won't mention it? Hehe, third uncle, what do you mean by that?"
"What do you mean! Just let it go, forget it! Got it?" Third Uncle said coldly.
Shocked and anxious, Xia's expression changed, "Third Uncle, why is this! This is a good thing, poor Cuilan—"
"Okay, just shut up!" The third uncle said angrily, "You don't even understand your man's intentions, so you dare to talk in front of me, Mrs. Xia, what are your intentions!" The third uncle sneered, and then He briefly explained why Miao Cuilan just came here, and reprimanded him: "Your man told her so in a dream, what else do you want? If you really let her recognize her ancestors, you are not afraid that your man will come back to settle accounts with you." Hurry up and burn three sticks of incense for your man and kowtow to plead guilty!"
Xia Shi was stunned for a moment, and murmured: "How could this happen!" She moved her lips and wanted to say something but held back. It seems that this matter is true, because only she and third uncle knew about it, Miao Cuilan couldn't possibly know about it, but it happened that she was having a dream at this moment—
Xia Shi couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat, his face turned pale, and he quickly replied: "Yes, yes!" Undead, that can't be offended! Even if it is her own man, Xia family is afraid.
But she is not reconciled! Since my husband said so, it is impossible to mention this matter again from now on! That is to say, Miao Cuilan can boss her around in front of her all her life, not to take her seriously, not to take her seriously, but what about her? He could only watch helplessly, he was so angry that he couldn't help her!
Xia's heart suddenly moved, and she couldn't help asking: "Third Uncle, did you tell Cuilan about this beforehand?"
"Huh?" The third uncle looked at her in confusion.
Xia's spirit lifted, and she hurriedly said, "Do you think Miao Cuilan made it up by herself? She just—"
"Presumptuous! Shut up!" The third uncle's expression changed and he shouted sharply, "What do you mean by that? You mean that Cuilan doesn't want to recognize her ancestors and return to her clan, so she would not hesitate to tell such a big lie? Hey, in this world, only the People who were abandoned by their ancestors, there is no one who refuses to recognize their ancestors! What kind of heart do you woman have!"
The third uncle was furious and couldn't help cursing, angry that Xia's thoughts were dirty, and even more angry that her words hurt his self-esteem. He was a highly respected elder of the Miao family, and Miao Cuilan didn't want to recognize his ancestors, so he looked down on the Miao family. Can he, an elder, feel comfortable after hearing this
Xia Shi was terrified, and kept apologizing with her head down. She didn't expect the third uncle's reaction to this matter to be so great.
The third uncle scolded for a while, then suddenly stared at her with an "oh" and said, "It's strange that I have always felt that there was something full of doubts in my heart and I couldn't think of it for a while, but you reminded me. You have always been kind to Chuhe and Cuilan." Okay, don't rush to quibble, I don't know what you did! How could you be so kind and take the initiative to mention Cuilan's return? Xia Shi, what kind of heart do you have? Ah, I remembered, you I'm busy making love to Tianbao, I'm afraid it's not careless, not to mention virtuous, to let Cuilan return at this time, but because they have taken a fancy to their Lu family's money? Good Xia family!"
The third uncle was furious, pointed at her and shouted sharply: "You are so brave! You dare to plot against the old man! The old man almost fell for you!" The third uncle was trembling with anger. I was so angry that I became angry from embarrassment! Thinking of how this bitch dared to plot against him, clearly using himself as a tool, it can be seen that he has no respect for the elders in his heart, he couldn't help feeling dizzy, and scolded Mrs. Xia fiercely.
Xia Shi was so panicked that he knelt down with a "plop", his face was white and trembling, and he kept kowtowing to plead guilty, so frightened that his liver and gallbladder were torn apart.
The eldest son of the third uncle is the patriarch of this term, the third uncle is the previous patriarch, offended the third uncle, the son is not up to date, and there is no man in the family, the remorse in Xia's heart, and the desire to die.
The third uncle scolded for a while, Fang felt a little relieved, and said coldly: "Get out! Let me tell you, from now on, just be honest and keep your own place. If you dare to make trouble again, I will be the first to spare you! Chuhe is the eldest son and the head of the family. Most of the family property left by his father should belong to him. Now he is going to school, and the expenses are not small. From this month, you will give him five dollars a month. Money, and also, her daughter-in-law has to share with him the wages of her work, so don't stretch your hands around! Do you hear me!"
Xia's heart hurts like gouging out flesh, but when Third Uncle was furious, how could she dare to distinguish half a word? I had no choice but to agree tearfully, aggrieved, and got up in embarrassment and left.
Because of this matter, Xia Shi was so angry that his liver hurt and he didn't eat dinner properly. She originally thought that it would be fine if the third uncle said it, and she would not dare to ask for the two coins from Tong Yu'er, but she would not pay the other two coins, so she could just pretend to be deaf and dumb.
Unexpectedly, the third uncle's youngest daughter-in-law came to ask for money the next day, and she asked for three taels, saying that it happened that someone was going to the city today, and she would send it to Chuhe by the way, and give it back in half a year.
Mrs. Xia was so angry that she almost couldn't come up, but she didn't dare to refuse, so she had to take out three taels of silver sullenly. The little daughter-in-law saw that her complexion was not very good, and knew her well, so how could she not know the reason? Then he smiled and joked: "Don't feel bad, little aunt, when Brother Chuhe has a big future in the future, don't talk about three taels, what is thirty taels, three hundred taels! This money, you can't take it Lost!" He said and went away with a smile, which made Xia feel even more depressed.
The matter of recognizing the ancestors and returning to the clan was no longer mentioned, and Miao Cuilan was finally relieved, and the family still lived in peace and contentment.
In a blink of an eye, it was the first month of the new month, and after the third day of junior high school, the Xia clan hadn't come to collect the money yet. Miao Cuilan couldn't help being surprised, and joked with Lu Zhong and Tong Yu'er: "Could it be that she forgot? That's really strange." Something happened!"
If Mrs. Xia doesn't come to get it, Miao Cuilan will naturally not take the initiative to send it to her. Later, when she heard that someone from the third uncle's side had come over and told her the reason, Miao Cuilan knew it, and naturally she agreed.
In May, Miao Tianbao married a wife, Miao Chuhe was the elder brother, so naturally he wanted to go back, so he went back with Tong Yu'er for three or four days, and still took Lu Xiaoshu away.
With the meaning hinted by the third uncle, Miao Chuhe lost a lot of scruples, Xia's arrogance also fell, and he dared not say anything about their husband and wife easily, but seeing their husband and wife and Lu Xiaoshu felt particularly annoying, wishing for them It's better not to come back to the wedding.
The next day, the new daughter-in-law Zhao served tea, Miao Chuhe gave a red envelope of two renminbi, and Tong Yuer gave a worthless silver flat square. If it was in the past, she would have been ridiculed and scolded long ago. Although she dare not be so arrogant now, she can't bear this tone if she wants to bear it. After all, she complained a few words.
Miao Chuhe only smiled lightly, and said: "I'm still studying in the academy, where can I get any money? The money is saved from the living expenses you gave me, mother! The same goes for Yu'er's square." Xia Shi choked even more.
This matter is simply a sore foot for Xia Shi, once she heard Miao Chuhe mention it, it was like stabbing her heart and lungs with a knife. She was furious, and the more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she became. She would never see Miao Chuhe and his wife again, so she drove them away that day.
Miao Chuhe and Tong Yu'er couldn't get what they wanted, they pushed the boat along the water and were about to leave, but Lu Xiaoshu suddenly said beside him: "It seems impossible? Can't my little uncle wait until the bride of the Three Dynasties returns?"
Miao Chuhe and Tong Yu'er came back to their senses with a shock in their hearts, they broke out in a cold sweat, if not for Lu Xiaoshu's words, they almost did something wrong.
As the eldest brother and sister-in-law, and his father has passed away, how can there be sisters-in-law who ran away one by one before returning home? If this is the case, people will definitely gossip about it! Maybe, the Xia family was waiting for this opportunity to take their fault!
"Thanks for Xiaoshu's reminder! It's true, we still have to stay for three days, anyway, we're not in a hurry, so let's stay!" Miao Chuhe smiled gratefully at Lu Xiaoshu, and said to Xia.
Xia Shi glared at Lu Xiaoshu bitterly, snorted and didn't speak with a straight face. Miao Chuhe was right, she did it on purpose, to let the couple go on purpose. As long as they leave, she will go out and spread the word. I don't want this little girl to be a big kid, and the two adults are negligent. Don't give face either!
"Little uncle, please don't be polite!" Lu Xiaoshu smiled sweetly, and said angrily, "Mother told me to remember to remind my little uncle! Mother said that I am afraid that my little uncle will forget in a while!"
"Hehe, it's my sister who has the heart!" Both Miao Chuhe and Tong Yu'er laughed.
Xia Shi was even more annoyed, and snorted coldly: "Sister? Her mother is your sister! You only have a younger brother, and you just got married now! Don't be so intimate with irrelevant people! That's you The unfilial daughter that father drove out of the house!"
A cluster of flames flashed in the bottom of Miao Chuhe's eyes, and he said lightly: "Don't worry about my mother's reminder. To be a person, you have to be conscientious. She pays for my schooling and is older than me. I am grateful and call her sister. What's wrong?"
Lu Xiaoshu was also very upset when he heard Xia's bad words about his mother, he couldn't help cursing a few words, then got off the stool, pestered Miao Chuhe and Tong Yu'er to take her out to play.
Miao Chuhe didn't bother to talk to Mrs. Xia, so he took her by the hand and went out with his wife. Xia was furious and cursed in a low voice.
